The major cause for
manual scavenging is the existence of insanitary latrines. Section 5 of the MS
Act, 2013 prohibits construction of insanitary latrines and engaging of manual
scavengers from the date of commencement of the Act i.e. 06.12.2013. The Act
provides for identification of insanitary latrines and their demolition/conversion
into sanitary latrines on a time bound basis. The municipalities, Cantonment
Boards and railway authorities have been mandated to construct adequate number
of community sanitary latrines within a period of three years from the date of
commencement of the Act to eliminate the practice of open defecation.
This information was given by the Minister of State, Social
Justice & Empowerment, Shri Vijay Sampla in a written reply to a question
in Rajya Sabha here today.
